Anubis provides protection against bots scraping websites and DDoSing projects.
This blog post is about Xe’s reasoning for originally only providing docker packages and their work to provide native packages.
I have detected bloat, you YAML merchant you! Reject complexity! Return to native packages!
Lmao
There must be a tool that allows you to build packages for multiple systems in multiple formats (deb, rpm, nix, flatpak, snap, etc.). Does that not exist? After 20 years of these systems existing, somebody must’ve tried…
Also, it’s clear that once again, open source needs some kind of funding model, because it’s a little crazy that a project like this can get so popular so fast, the dev flooded with praise, thanks, and issues but not money to maintain and develop it.
Suse’s open build system does this. It’s just very enterprisy to me, so I haven’t really used it myself
Problem is that distro1 has req-lib2.5.3 while distro2 has req-lib2.7.8, but your project was developed on distro3 with req-lib2.9.5 so you have to deal with every distro having different lib versions and compatibility issues that come with it, not just different packaging formats.
Anubis without JavaScript is what I’m waiting for. I know that the Darknet forum Dread has a PoW system that doesn’t use JS (or maybe it does something else entirely and I completely missed it)
How would that work? And how easy would it be to circumvent? Anubis probably forces spinning up a browser or something that supports a JS runtime (again probably a browser), so it’s not as easily scriptable as just callling an HTTP endpoint. I’m curious how you would implement a system without JS.
Maybe the solution is for browsers to include POW functionality natively.
We see dumb shit like “you need to enable DRM yadayada.” We could have a similar thing for “you need to enable POW.”
Oh god, is that that software with the annoying/creepy nekogirl?
Why can’t devs be normal.
If you use Anubis for free, he asks that you keep the girl on for marketing purposes.
If you pay / support the project, you can remove it.
Honestly, it’s a good way to encourage people to pay up because some people absolutely hate it.
Yeah. I don’t support making software worse just to pressure people into paying for it.
Maybe if I was the one making money off of it, sure. But I’m just a user so it doesn’t make sense for me to go to bat for the businessman.
It’s also really creepy and borderline pedophilic.
It’s not making it worse. They like anime, so they have an anime girl as the mascot; a very tame one too.
But some people freak out about it.
The fuck? There is nothing sexual about the character at all. Calling it pedophilic says a whole lot more about you than the software.
Ew. Get away from me.
You’re a fucking weirdo
I may be missing some context here. How is it creepy to have a child as the mascot of your software? I just checked the Anubis website and didn’t see any sexualization.
